Speaking of Tyres,

Bridgestone 215/55R17 (489)
Nexen 215/55R17 (493)
Goodyear 215/55R17 (491)
Bridgestone 235/45R18 (495)
Nexen 235/45R18 (492)
Kuhmo 235/45R18 (493)
Nexen 235/40R19 (490)

Manitoba: Neat idea!
Tire revs per mile: That seems like a pretty narrow spread. Seems well within the margin allowable for ABS and AWD...

...so let's say that a person wasn't very observant: "A Person wasn't Very Observant."
So, you could put a different tyre on each corner of the car and from the driver's seat they couldn't see it, but I bet the vehicle dynamics would be infected.

Re: Manitoba Homestead Act
There are people here in Detroit who have different tires on each wheel, but the only vehicle dynamics they are interested in is that the old beater starts up in the morning and how many quarts of oil it takes to go 100 miles.Rope-Pusher wrote:...so let's say that a person wasn't very observant: "A Person wasn't Very Observant."

You don't have to go to Detroit to see it. I work with a guy like that.
